Peter Pan,
By Jacob Marlie (London, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter Pan (A Golden Book) (Hardcover)
The Book Peter Pan is probable my favorite childrens book of all. Peter Pan is about a young boy named, of course, Peter Pan. Peter lives in a place far away called Neverland. In Neverland no one there can get older. The only adults in Neverland happen to be pirates, and although Peter is just a boy all of the pirates are scared of him because he is the only person who can fly. The book is jam packed with adventure, Peter even has a friend fairy. Peter Pan also has friends called the lost boys. This book is a definate must get book for your child. I recommend this book to all ages, because every kid needs Peter Pan

PETER PAN WHO ARE YOU,
By Ryan (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter Pan (A Golden Book) (Hardcover)
If kids like Peter Pan, then this is a book for them. With illustrations and the vocabulary the kids can understand, this book provides an easy way for the kids to understand the story. It is a must for any children's book collection.

Peter Pan,

This review is from: Peter Pan (A Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I've read a few editions of this story and thought combining them would make comparisons easier, so this review will include all three editions I've reviewed so far.
The basic recap: Wendy, John and Michael Darling are in the nursery on the eve of Wendy's growing up when Peter Pan appears, looking for his shadow. When he hears that Wendy will be leaving the nursery to grow up tomorrow, he offers to whisk them away to Never Land. The children go with Peter and enjoy themselves until Peter sees that Captain Hook has kidnapped Tiger Lily. He rescues her, but Hook then captures Tinkerbell, forcing her to tell him where Peter and the Lost Boys can be found. Hook captures all of them, including the Darlings, and it's up to Peter and Tinkerbell to save them! ISBN 0307001040 Peter Pan (Little Golden Book) (4 stars) - Eugene Bradley Coco and illustrator Ron Dias, who teamed up on Pinocchio (A Little Golden Book), take on another classic with the adaptation of Disney's Peter Pan. This time they're slightly less successful, as they fall into what seems like a pattern with these books, trying to tell too much in too few pages and leaving out important details in the process. The illustrations, however, are fantastic. Coco jumps right into the story, which seems to assume that the reader already knows something about it. Peter's distress that there will be no more stories makes no sense, because there hadn't been a story yet. It's a small thing for those who know the whole story, and kids might not notice because they're kids, but the book has an incomplete feel to it. Tinkerbell's jealousy of Wendy, for example, is never mentioned. I think young children will love the story, regardless, but for fans of the original, it falls a bit short. ISBN 0590419137 Peter Pan (Walt Disney's Classic) (4 stars) - Where it was printed/manufactured isn't stated. Marked for ages 8 to 12, RL5. No author or illustrator is named. The nameless author has broadened the story in this edition, to include more on the Darling parents and Nana, the childrens' nursemaid/dog. The story begins with the Darling parents getting ready for a night out. Mr. Darling cannot locate his cuff links and, in the process of searching for them, finds his shirt (turned into a treasure map) in the nursery and blows his top. He wants some order. Nana is ordered out of the nursery and Wendy will be moved out tomorrow! The story ends with a calmer pair of parents returning at the end of their night and Mr. Darling taking back the threat to move Wendy out of the nursery. The trio looks out at the moonlit night and sees Peter's ship gliding by; Mr. Darling remembers seeing this ship before, long ago... The also-nameless illustrator's work appears to be lifted straight from movie stills, but it's all in black and white, losing the gorgeous attractiveness of most Disney work. At 76 pages, this is not a toddler-style edition and that's what saves this edition from a mediocre 3 stars. The text has grown up a bit, is a little more complex and there's a lot more of it, making this edition a lot better a fit for the older age group. ISBN 0785395393 Walt Disney's Peter Pan (3 stars) - Adapter Kate Hannigan does an okay job with this story, although the tick-tock of the crocodile doesn't get explained until nearly the end, which was just a little annoying. It's the attempt to pack so much into so few pages that makes the story feel very rushed and less entertaining. Not bad, just average. The illustrations are standard Disney. - AnnaLovesBooks
